You see an empty spot in a room, a little space sans style, what is your go-to decorating solution?

Consider a stack. A book stack.

I am a book hoarder {that doubles as a Kindle lover}. Design, fashion, suspense novels, cookbooks and beach reads alike…I love to read them and I really love to decorate with them. So when form meets function a lovely book takes the design cake for me.

A stack of books compliments color

{design sponge}

or brings the color.

{Miss Design}

Books over a table

{Glitter Guide}

or stacked underneath.

Resting comfortably atop an ottoman

{Southern Living 2012 Idea House}

or sitting pretty across two tables

{The Every Girl}

Lined up in their colorful glory

{Elmeuble}

or elegantly muted in bookcases.

{Habitually Chic}

Books are the filler of fabulous shelves

{Martha Stewart}

and delicious tables.

{Interiorily Designed Inspirations}

Expectedly collected in bookcases

{Carrier and Company}

or unexpectedly beneath a chair.

{Unknown Source}

I am engulfed in a black & gold obsession at the moment so these two stacks make my heart sing.

Speaking of books…Josh and I are hoping to meet the lovely duo from Young House Love tonight 🙂
